Bubble Maker Terms of Use
Welcome to Bubble Maker. These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of Bubble Maker, including the Bubble Maker website, editor, optional Bubble Maker Pro subscription, and related features (collectively, the “Service”).
Bubble Maker is operated by Ben Palladino, doing business as Bubble Maker.
By clicking “I Agree,” “Accept & Continue,” creating an account, starting checkout, or otherwise affirmatively accepting these Terms, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
These Terms are provided for product transparency. They are not a substitute for legal advice. The Service operator may update them as described below.
1. About Bubble Maker
Bubble Maker is a browser-based creative tool for creating and editing speech bubbles, thought bubbles, shout bubbles, captions, text, sound effects, shapes, manga effects, patterns, vignettes, shadows, and other lettering-related assets.
The editor is free to use without an account. You may create, edit, save locally, recover locally, and export projects (including PNG, SVG, PDF, and .bubblemaker files) without Bubble Maker Pro.
Bubble Maker may allow you to import or reference your own images, fonts, artwork, project files, and other content on your device.
2. Bubble Maker Pro
Bubble Maker Pro is an optional paid subscription. It is not required to use creation tools in the editor.
Pro currently includes account-based services such as:
- a Bubble Maker account;
- up to 3 GB of cloud project storage;
- automatic project sync and cross-device access;
- offline editing of downloaded/cached cloud projects;
- conflict safety when this device and the cloud both have different changes;
- Saved Styles;
- synced custom fonts and synced reference artwork/assets;
- cloud recovery versions;
- Account & Billing management; and
- Download All Projects.
Pro features may change over time. Cloud and account services depend on network availability and third-party infrastructure and are not guaranteed to be uninterrupted.
3. Accounts
A Bubble Maker account is required for Bubble Maker Pro and related cloud services. An account is not required to use the free local editor.
You are responsible for the email address associated with your account and for activity that occurs while signed in. Sign out on shared devices.
4. Pricing, Billing, and Paddle
If you subscribe to Bubble Maker Pro, you purchase a recurring Monthly or Annual subscription.
Current standard pricing is $3.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Annual billing saves about $7.89 per year compared with paying monthly (about 16%). Prices may change for future renewal periods with notice as required by law or by our payment provider.
There is no free trial.
Paddle is the Merchant of Record for Bubble Maker Pro purchases. Paddle processes payments and, where applicable, handles applicable taxes, receipts or invoices, and certain buyer billing and support functions. Bubble Maker does not collect or store full payment card details.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless canceled. You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You keep Pro access until that period ends if the subscription remains paid.
Canceling a subscription prevents future renewals. Cancellation does not, by itself, create a refund for charges already processed. Refund eligibility is governed by the Refund Policy, Paddle’s applicable policies and processes, and mandatory consumer law.
Plan changes, payment updates, invoices, and customer portal features are provided through Paddle where available.
Fraudulent, abusive, or improper payment disputes or chargebacks may result in suspension of Pro or cloud access, subject to applicable law. This does not limit your ability to raise a legitimate billing question or to exercise consumer rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
5. Cloud Storage, Sync, and Offline Copies
Pro cloud storage is limited to 3 GB of accounted project, font, asset, and recovery data unless we state otherwise in the product. Saved Styles do not count toward the 3 GB cloud storage quota.
Synced projects may be cached on devices you use. Offline edits are stored locally and may sync when a connection returns, subject to conflict handling and storage limits.
Cloud storage is not unlimited and is not a substitute for your own backups. We do not guarantee against all data loss. Browser storage, device failure, account deletion, retention expiry, service changes, or outages can result in loss of cloud or local data.
6. Saved Styles, Fonts, Assets, and Recovery
Saved Styles, uploaded custom fonts, uploaded reference artwork/assets, and cloud recovery versions are account services for Pro subscribers (and, where applicable, former subscribers during the read-only retention period described below).
Cloud recovery keeps a limited number of recent recovery versions. It is a convenience feature, not a complete backup system.
7. Eligibility
You may use Bubble Maker only if you are legally permitted to enter into these Terms. If applicable law requires a parent or guardian to consent to your use of the Service, that consent is required.
If you use Bubble Maker on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.
8. Your Content
You retain ownership of the content you create using Bubble Maker.
Bubble Maker does not claim ownership of your artwork, text, project files, imported fonts, reference images, exports, Saved Styles, or other user-created content.
You grant Bubble Maker a limited permission to host, store, process, transmit, and render your uploaded or synced content solely as needed to provide the Service to you (for example, to sync a project to another device you sign in on).
You are solely responsible for the content you import, reference, create, upload, or export using Bubble Maker, including that you have the rights needed to use it.
9. Copyright and Third-Party Content
Bubble Maker may be used with artwork, fonts, images, characters, logos, or other materials owned by third parties.
You are responsible for determining whether your use of third-party material is authorized by the copyright owner, permitted by license, permitted by law, or otherwise lawful.
Bubble Maker does not grant you any rights to third-party intellectual property merely because the Service allows you to import, reference, modify, sync, or export material involving that property.
10. Custom Fonts
Bubble Maker may allow you to import custom font files locally and, with Pro, sync them to your account.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to use any font you import or upload, including any rights necessary for editing, embedding, exporting, commercial use, or redistribution.
Bubble Maker does not verify font licenses and is not responsible for violations of font licenses resulting from fonts supplied by users.
11. Reference Artwork and Assets
You are responsible for having appropriate rights to any reference images or other assets you import or upload.
Bubble Maker does not verify those rights.
12. Bundled Fonts and Other Third-Party Materials
Bubble Maker may include fonts, icons, or other third-party materials made available under separate licenses.
Those materials remain subject to their respective licenses.
Information regarding bundled third-party materials and their applicable licenses is available within Bubble Maker’s About or licensing information.
13. Local Storage and Backups
Bubble Maker may store projects, autosaves, recovery versions, preferences, imported fonts, and related data locally in your browser or on your device. Local storage is provided for convenience and is not guaranteed to be permanent or available. Clearing browser data, changing devices or browsers, storage limitations, software failures, or other circumstances may result in loss of locally stored data.
You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of projects you wish to preserve, including downloaded .bubblemaker project files. Download All Projects, where available, is a convenience and does not replace your own backup practice.
14. Project Files and Exports
Bubble Maker may allow you to save project files and export content in formats such as PNG, SVG, or PDF.
You are responsible for verifying exported files before relying on them for publication, printing, production, commercial use, or other important purposes.
Bubble Maker does not guarantee that exports will be compatible with every browser, operating system, design application, printing service, or third-party tool.
15. Cancellation, Former-Pro Access, and Cloud Retention
Canceling Bubble Maker Pro keeps your Bubble Maker account. It does not delete local projects on your devices.
After paid Pro access ends, remaining cloud data is generally retained in read-only form for 90 days so you can access and download existing cloud data. During that period, new cloud writes are generally disabled. After the retention period, that cloud content—including project files, recovery versions, synced fonts, synced assets, and Saved Styles associated with that Pro period—may be permanently deleted.
We may retain, restrict, or delete cloud data sooner or later than that 90-day period when required by law, to address abuse or security issues, or as reasonably necessary for technical or operational reasons. We do not promise indefinite recoverability.
Download All Projects may be available while cloud data remains. We do not guarantee that every file will be recoverable in every circumstance.
16. Account Deletion
You may request deletion of your Bubble Maker account from Account settings. Account deletion is different from Cancel Pro, Sign Out, and Delete Cloud Data.
Account deletion is subject to a 7-day cancellation window described in the product. After deletion completes, your account and cloud user content—including cloud projects, project thumbnails, cloud recovery versions, Saved Styles, synced custom fonts, synced reference artwork/assets, related cloud storage metadata, and sync/account operational data that is not legally or operationally required—are permanently deleted from active Bubble Maker cloud storage.
Minimal billing, accounting, or security records may remain only where legally or operationally required. Transient operational backups or logs may take a limited additional period to age out in the ordinary course. We do not retain your project content for ongoing product use after deletion completes.
Local projects stored in a browser or device are not remotely deleted by account deletion. You must remove local data yourself if you want it gone from that device.
If you have an active subscription, we will use Paddle-supported cancellation so a deleted account is not left on recurring charges.
17. Acceptable Use
You may not use Bubble Maker to:
- violate applicable law;
- knowingly infringe the intellectual property rights of others;
- upload or distribute malware or malicious code;
- interfere with or disrupt the Service;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or related systems;
- probe, overload, or abuse cloud APIs, storage, or authentication;
- use the Service in a manner intended to harm Bubble Maker, its operator, or other users.
18. Bubble Maker Intellectual Property
Except for user content and separately licensed third-party materials, Bubble Maker and its original software, interface design, branding, graphics, documentation, and other original materials are owned by Ben Palladino and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
© 2026 Ben Palladino. All rights reserved.
These Terms do not grant you ownership of Bubble Maker or its underlying software, branding, or other proprietary materials.
19. Service Changes and Availability
Bubble Maker may be changed, updated, suspended, or discontinued at any time.
Features may be added, modified, or removed. There is no guarantee that any particular feature, file format, project format, cloud service, or functionality will remain available indefinitely.
Local editing is designed to continue if cloud, billing, or email services are temporarily unavailable. Cloud features may show a temporary unavailability state rather than treating local work as lost.
20. No Warranty
Bubble Maker is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.”
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bubble Maker is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, reliability, accuracy, or error-free operation.
The Service may contain bugs, interruptions, incompatibilities, or other issues. We do not warrant that cloud storage, sync, recovery, or email delivery will prevent all data loss.
21. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Ben Palladino and Bubble Maker will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the Service.
This includes, without limitation, loss of data, lost projects, lost profits, business interruption, corrupted exports, loss of opportunity, or claims involving content created or used with Bubble Maker.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability arising from or relating to Bubble Maker will not exceed the greater of:
- the amount you paid to use Bubble Maker during the twelve months preceding the claim; or
- $10 USD.
The free editor may result in a maximum liability of $10 where permitted by law. Amounts paid for Bubble Maker Pro, if any, are included in the twelve-month calculation above.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes rights that cannot lawfully be waived or limited under applicable consumer-protection law, including mandatory refund, withdrawal or cooling-off, warranty, or liability protections.
22. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ben Palladino and Bubble Maker from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses arising from:
- content you import, create, reference, upload, publish, or export;
- your violation of these Terms;
- your infringement of another person’s intellectual property or other rights; or
- your unlawful use of the Service.
23. Changes to These Terms
These Terms may be updated from time to time.
If a material change is made, Bubble Maker may require you to review and accept the updated Terms before continuing to use account or cloud services. The free local editor may remain available under previously accepted Terms where the product allows it.
The version and effective date at the top of these Terms indicate when the current version became effective.
24. Termination
Your permission to use Bubble Maker may be suspended or terminated if you violate these Terms or misuse the Service. Suspension or termination may restrict account or cloud access. It does not necessarily cancel amounts already due. Pro billing and cancellation remain subject to Paddle and applicable law.
Unless legal or security reasons require otherwise, user content is handled according to the retention and deletion practices described in these Terms.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification, will survive.
25. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be handled in the courts located in Steuben County, New York, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
26. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
27. Entire Agreement
These Terms constitute the agreement between you and Bubble Maker concerning use of the Service, except where another written agreement expressly applies.
